Two groups of 1st-year wrestlers participated in the study. To assess the performance of a back-arch throw to be acquired on this stage of preparation, we tested the technical preparedness of young wrestlers with the method of expert assessment. Results. During the study, we established the classification of “Koresh” fighting methods and revealed that there was a necessity to study a back-arch throw in two variants in the groups of young wrestlers. We developed the criteria for assessing the back-arch throw performed by young wrestlers. Conclusions. As a result of the study, we developed the classification of “Koresh” fighting methods, which are necessary for studying in 1st-year wrestlers. To control the quality of fighting methods acquiring and to assess their performance, we developed the criteria, which allowed us to assess these methods stage-by-stage and in general.
